Dear Friends,

Although we were very much looking forward to welcoming you to the Association of Bainbridge Communities Environmental Conference next weekend, out of an abundance of caution, we are postponing the event.

Recent King County recommendations aimed at reducing the risk of exposure to COVID-19 have suggested avoiding bringing large groups together. Your safety, and the safety of our staff and community at large, are of the utmost importance to us. While it saddens us to have to postpone a weekend of bringing people together over a topic of the utmost importance – something we are extremely passionate about doing – we know this is the right decision for all.

What’s next?

• The ABC Environmental Conference Planning team is working with our speakers and session leaders to reschedule this conference for next fall.
• As soon as we land on a new date, we will reach out to inform you.
• If you’re unable to make the new date, we can issue you a refund. Please email [email protected] if you’d like us to issue you a refund.

We’re disappointed not to be seeing you next weekend but hope to see you this fall for the conference. We encourage you to spend next Sunday sharing a walk with friends and family through one of our Island’s magnificent forests.
